MUCH-LOVED physical theatre performer Aldo Brincat will be returning to Durban for a short visit to stage his new one-man show: The Moon Looks Delicious from Here, a theatre play of magical realism and far-off places, which he is bringing to the Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo for two performances only, on Friday, February 24 at 19:30 and Sunday, February 26 at 14:00.

Through the mediums of physical theatre, mime and characterisation, The Moon Looks Delicious from Here, explores immigrant family dynamics and how they shape identity and heritage in a first-generation citizen in a 70-minute, semi-autobiographical one-man theatre show.

Brincat is that first-generation citizen with a complex heritage. Born in the mid-1960s, Brincat and his family find their maturing years are set against the backdrop of a country in the convulsions of political upheaval. The drama is driven by a loving father and son – each from a different era and motherland. Here Brincat plays an array of characters in and around this fragile, young nuclear family –  some foreign, some local – all of whom are finding or losing themselves in the ever-changing political landscape of their new homeland, South Africa.

Though set in Durban, the story is universal in its theme, particularly at this time when the intersectional effects of migration are brought increasingly into our consciousness.
